As soon as Sophie got down to the second floor, she saw a maid who was done cleaning up. She couldnât help but stop the maid enthusiastically and inquired, âExcuse me, may I know who the girl wearing the yellow coat in the hall is?â
The maids here knew Sophieâs identity, so they were very polite and respectful to her. Naturally, they answered her quickly, âMiss Liamson, you must be talking about Miss Singed, right? She is Miss Hussonâs goddaughter.â
âHer goddaughter?â Sophieâs eyes widened in shock as she asked again, âAre you saying that Miss Singed is Miss Scarlet Hussonâs adopted goddaughter?â
âYes. Miss Singedâs parents are also guests today,â replied the maid.
Sophic endured the shock in her heart and uttered, âOkay, thank you.â
As she went downstairs, she digested the news. Ruka turned out to be Scarletâs adopted daughter, so what was the relationship between her and Ren? Wasnât it a messy relationship?
They shouldnât be together! A goddaughter was also considered a daughter, after all! How could they mess up the generations?
Ruka mustâve seduced Ren! She noticed the couple beside Ruka earlier. They looked like an ordinary couple and definitely did not belong to the riches. Ruka might not have been content with being just a goddaughter, so she wanted to take the position of the mistress of the Husson Family. At the same time, she could even enjoy the title of the vice presidentâs wife!
When Sophie thought about it, she finally understood everything. In her eyes, Ruka was an ambitious person who was more adept than her. Sophie couldnât help but sneer.
How unlucky she was to have met someone like Ruka! She decided that she would never let someone like Ruka get her hands on Ren.
This man was her goal, so she had to grab the opportunity regardless.
By the time Ruka returned to the hall and sat beside her parents, she took off her outer coat, revealing a plain and clegant white dress inside. After getting scared by Ren upstairs earlier, her back was covered in a cold sweat.
